i will not vote for romney. i'm voting for obama. >> i watched romney the other night in that debate, the third one on foreign policy, and i heard strange words coming out of his mouth. he's a business guy, obviously he's a successful businessman, made a quarter billion dollars. he doesn't have any interest in the world, never shown any interest in the world beyond that. my question, where did he get that thing about how we're going to charge ahmadinejad, the president of iran, with genocide for the words he's spoken, not what he's done, but the words he's spoken about israel? that would seem to be a deal breaker. you start charging with guy with genocide, you're not going to cut a deal with the guy. do they want war with iran? just period, do they want war with iran no matter what iran does henceforth, colonel? the neocons? >> i think the question you ask has to be answered yes. there are gradations between the different neocons, but i think ultimately they want to paint the president, whoever it is, into a cor

the negative ads against mitt romney all summer long have evaporated after mitt romney's performance in denver, and that's precisely the gamble that mitt romney was making last night, that he wants to carry that momentum forward and not allow the negative attacks to stick if he is boisterous or rambunctious. >> 30 seconds left and, amy, you will start. the likability factor among our polling dipped for president obama with all of that attacking that may stick, so quick line from you, amy, and quick line from john. was it worth it on a foreign policy debate that might not have been watched by that many people to go for the gust owe and yet perhaps lose likability? >> when you attack your opponent, you may bring his negatives down but you also bring your own negatives down. i think last night you saw mitt romney was playing for the center, the undecideds. when he talked about bipartisan ship, president obama was playing to the base. those zingers were went to get up the base. it is a get out the vote effort at this point. >> obama can lose a little in the likability, but i agree. i thi
